@fraying What did the OT really have to say that would be more profound than what Rebels (and presumably the Asoka show) had/have to say? There's some elements of post-Vietnam criticism, but Rebels is pretty antifascist, and it seems like Asoka is going to be about at least in part war-profiteering and corruption.
What the OT has on all of Star Wars is precisely that it's the OT. The original. There was nothing to really compare it to when it came out, but I think overall, compared against all of the Star Wars media that it spawned, there are much more profound stories as well as some pretty simplistic ones.
